Five Years Ago

Today is the anniversary of one of the milestones on Ron’s and my journey together. Five years ago on this date we moved to Myrtle Beach. It was Easter and following the last worship service at Shandon UMC in Columbia, we drove to our new home. (Our furniture had arrived two weeks earlier.) Prior to this move, Ron’s career had dictated where we lived. Now I was the one who had said that I thought we needed to make this change in our lives. As one might imagine, those first weeks were ones of wondering if I had done the right thing. However, as life has unfolded for us, the hand of God has seemed evident in some very real ways. So, I celebrate this day with prayers of thanksgiving for what has been. I also ask God to give guidance to my days ahead.
